    摘要: A low cost flame sensing system having at last one floating point. For instance, the system may have two grounds. There may be a flame sensing rod for detecting a flame which has a model circuit which appears upon the existence of the flame proximate to the sensing rod. The sensing rod may function without an explicit or dedicated excitation source connected to it. There may be diagnostics in the system for detecting leakage or shorts of the sensing rod to ground. Also, the system may have AC grounding phase detection.

    摘要: An inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (14) is inflatable away from a roof (18) of a vehicle (12) to a position between a side structure (16) of the vehicle and a vehicle occupant. The protection device (14) includes overlying inboard and outboard panels (40 and 42) that help define an inflatable volume of the protection device. The outboard panel (42) is positioned between the inboard panel (40) and the side structure (16) when the protection device (14) is inflated. A first coating (50) is applied to the inboard panel (40) and a second coating (52) is applied to the outboard panel (42). The second coating (52) is different than the first coating (50) and has a puncture resistance greater than a puncture resistance of the first coating.

    摘要: A water heater performance monitoring device for monitoring whether a water heater is functioning optimally or whether it requires service. The device uses maximum heating rates taken from a plurality of measured heating rates to determine if the performance of the water heater has degraded from a threshold performance level. A water heater performance monitoring device can reduce the number of false alarms that occur regarding the need for water heater service by filtering out temporary factors, lasting less than a time cycle, which affect heating rate of water in the water heater. This can save users time and money by reducing unnecessary water heater inspections.

    摘要: A fault detection system and method for a warm air furnace is provided. A sensing circuit connected to an AC power source measures a level of current consumption during several points in the warm air furnace operating sequence. The measured level of current consumption is compared with an expected value. If the measured level exceeds the expected level by a threshold amount, a fault in the warm air furnace may be detected. An indication of at least one warm air furnace component that is most likely to have caused the fault may be provided.

    摘要: An inflatable vehicle occupant protection device (10) comprises an outer bag (40) comprising an outer panel (42) and an inner panel (44) sewn together along their outer peripheral portions by an external seam (70). The inner panel (44) of the outer bag (40) has a first mouth portion (66) fixable on the vehicle. The outer panel (44) of the outer bag (40) has an occupant contact portion (54) opposite the first mouth portion (66) which is movable in a first direction away from the first mouth portion upon inflation of the outer bag. An inner bag (30) located within the outer bag (40) comprises an outer panel (32) and an inner panel (34) sewn together along their outer peripheral portions by an external seam (100). The inner panel (34) of the inner bag (30) has a second mouth portion (86) fixable on the vehicle. The outer panel (32) of the inner bag (30) has an outer portion (74) opposite the second mouth portion (86) which is movable in the first direction away from the second mouth portion upon inflation of the inner bag. The second mouth portion (86) of the inner bag (30) has an inflation fluid inlet opening (88) extending around an axis (20, 52) of the second mouth portion for enabling inflation fluid to flow into the inner bag in the first direction. The outer bag (40) is inflated only by inflation fluid which first flows into the inner bag (30). The inner bag (30) has fluid vent means (90) for directing inflation fluid to flow out of the inner bag and into the outer bag (40) only in directions which are outward from the axis (20, 52) and in a direction away from the occupant contact portion (54) of the outer bag. In a preferred embodiment, an area (112) of the outer portion (74) of the inner bag (30) engages an area (110) of the occupant contact portion (54) of the outer bag (40) to block the flow of inflation fluid between the area (110) of the outer bag and the area (112) of the inner bag.

    摘要: A system for adjusting a bias voltage of a flame sensing system. The system may use pulse width modulation to adjust the bias voltage. The system may have a flame sensing rod that conveys an electrical equivalent circuit of a flame presence to a detector via low pass filter. An excitation voltage may be conveyed via a DC blocking mechanism to the sensing rod. A pulse width modulation signal may be conveyed via a bias resistor to a node of the low pass filter and the detector. The input of an A/D converter may be that of the detector for flame signals. Also, leakages between the node of the A/D converter connection and the voltage source and/or ground may be detected and compensated. Further, leakage of the DC blocking mechanism may be minimized.
